Anita was the companies second ship and the first to do a world cruise, and the Aura was the companies third ever cruise ship and will be the second to perform a world cruise (Oct 2018).

There are many Mistral Class war vessels, but this is the cruise ship class. You will see the same or similar ships called the Lyrica class. There are a number, operated by MSC Cruises and Aida and they were built at Chantiers de l’Atlantique, St. Nazaire, France. The Mira was previously with Costa as the neoRiveriera. Whilst some may jump to question our banding them all together the strongest argument for this is that the first in class often gives ship and class the name. Lyrica is way down the line. Maybe it is a subclass as the Lyrica is longer and bigger, but these are similar smaller ships. The Mira is about 216meters in length and can hold about 1,700 guests. The Lyrica class goes up to about 250 meters in length, over 2,000 passengers on 9 passenger decks. (13 total)

Helios Class given Aida is a Carnival cruise line, you might consider the Hyperion Class an equal class to the Royal Class, and if so, the Helios class might give clues to the Excellence Class.
